Nassau County Police
Open House

"overnight accommodations' in the holding cells
at police department headquarters. The kids
were glad, to hear that prisoners got coffee and
doughnuts in the morning, not bread and water.

A film on police service, police horses, a heli­copter,
motorcycles, patrol cars and a bomb dis­posal
truck were only some the attractions on
display at the annual Open House at the Nassau
County Police Headquarters in Mineola last
week.
If you didn't get there this year, don't make the
same mistake next time around. It's an
opportunity for Nassau County residents,
especially the kids, to get a close-up view of their
police department in action.
After viewing the police service film, which
was an eye opener in itself, police officers took
groups on guided tours throughout the depart­ment.
Included in the tour was an exhibit by the
department's Historical Society, including a re­stored
1941 Plymouth "Ghost Patrol" Highway
Patrol Car and a 1925 Harley Davidson Police
Motorcycle, complete with sidecar. There were
displays from the Crime Resistance Unit,
Crime Scene Search Unit, Police Boys Club,
Records Bureau, Marine Bureau, Air Bureau,
and Highway Patrol Bureau. Live demon­strations
were enacted by the Police Bomb
Squad, Emergency Services Bureau and Motor­cycle
Unit of Highway Patrol, all to the wide
eyed wonder of many youngsters and the adults
they brought with them.
The tour visited the 911 Police Emergency
Communications Bureau, which is 30 feet under­ground,
in a separate building, for defense pur­poses.
And last, but by no means least, a visit to
the detention jail cells which are the overnight
accommodations for 'guests' of the county, since
Nassau has no night court. In the stark reality of
these holding cells, children (of all ages) were
wide-eyed and open-mouthed as the officer ex­plained
the routine that takes place here. "I'm
never going in there" was heard from not a few
mouths.
It was learned, during a couple of hours spent
observing, that the Nassau County Police De-apartment
is well equipped and very well trained,
to make Nassau a safe place to live.
